Red Gate Farms wedding in Savannah, Georgia

There are a handful of weddings that I connect with hard. Usually this requires the bride being an old friend, but it didn't with Krystal. Have you ever met someone you just wanted to be around because their energy was so positive and encouraging? Like your day would be better just being around them, you could get out of a mood, find some hope, remember your purpose.. Krystal is that kind of person. When she inquired a year ago about her Red Gate Farms wedding in Savannah, I clicked so much with her email. It was long, it was personal, (it was full of compliments which I don't hate hahaha), and I knew I needed to come back to Beaufort to meet her. Over the year I've witnessed Krystal go through a deployment with so much positivity and grace. She did all the things they tell you to do when your Marine deploys; she exemplified a positive and supportive Marine wife before she ever was one. And then after they got married, boom Ryan gets orders to Japan and what did Krystal do? Be the positive supportive military spouse that it's SO hard to be sometimes. Krystal, don't you ever let any "seasoned wives" school you over there in Okinawa, you are the one that needs to school the rest of us in looking at a situation with God's plan and hope and positivity despite the Marine Corps not always making it easy. It has been an honor to get to know you and Ryan, I wish you guys the BEST in Japan and I'll be following your journey on Facebook! Your light shines SO bright!Ryan and Krystal’s Red Gate Farms wedding in Savannah was all things boho. From Krystal’s flower crown, to her Anthro shoes and BHLDN accessories, to the succulents and sunflowers adorning the venue, to the Modcloth dresses for her bridesmaids (that are totally re-wearable!). it was just effortlessly beautiful. Krystal made so many unique and fun choices, like a favor to the guests of mugs that she had collected! It was bohemian and a little bit southern, which you have to appreciate in Savannah! Lady & Sons (Paula Deen’s restaurant!) catered the event with a southern spread, and little elements of southern charm were throughout the venue as well. Red Gate farms offers a ton of Spanish moss, a beautiful lake backdrop, and a barn reception venue that fit Ryan and Krystal’s style to a tee!Red Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0103.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0104.jpgThese vow books are my favorite!Red Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0105.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0106.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0107.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0108.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0109.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0110.jpgKrystal you are just breathtaking and RADIANT!Red Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0111.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0112.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0113.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0114.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0115.jpgKrystal's dad... all the heart eyes.Red Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0116.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0117.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0118.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0119.jpgTime for the man of the hour!Red Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0120.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0121.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0122.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0123.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0124.jpgBefore the ceremony, the two met at the barn to say a prayer.Red Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0125.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0126.jpgThey wrote each other letters...Red Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0127.jpgAnd Ryan got this card hahahaRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0128.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0129.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0131.jpgThe real letter came after!Red Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0130.jpgA group prayer before it's time to get married!Red Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0132.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0133.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0134.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0135.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0136.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0137.jpgRyan's reaction to Krystal is just everything!Red Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0138.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0139.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0140.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0141.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0142.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0143.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0144.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0145.jpgKrystal I just love you for this!Red Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0146.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0147.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0148.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0149.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0150.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0151.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0152.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0153.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0154.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0156.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0155.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0157.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0158.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0159.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0160.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0161.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0162.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0163.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0164.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0165.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0166.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0167.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0168.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0170.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0171.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0169.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0172.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0173.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0174.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0175.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0176.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0177.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0178.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0179.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0180.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0181.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0182.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0183.jpgBasically the perfect family photos and I see nothing wrong with themRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0184.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0186.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0185.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0187.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0188.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0189.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0190.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0191.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0192.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0193.jpgRed Gate Farms wedding in Savannah_0194.jpgAnd for the first time ever I actually went with a wedding couple back to their hotel!
